Hi, I've been reading various threads in the archives about reading and writing to old floppy disks, and the Compaticard has been metioned a few times. I read the following on www.sydex.com: " We do floppy conversion (diskette conversion), we can copy any diskette. We have special hardware for reading non-PC floppies. We are the authors of 22Disk, 22Nice, CopyQM and TeleDisk. We still have a few CompatiCard controllers for sale--please inquire about them. We can supply 5.25 inch and 8 inch drives. If it's on diskette, we can handle it. " Personally I am still thinking about buying a Catweasel card, but am unsure about software for reading and writing hard-sector floppies. I have a Northstar Advantage and am happy to make copies of the system disks (for cost of disks and postage), this uses 10-sector floppies. I also have a AES Superplus IV which is a WP system that uses 16-sector floppies, however the system doesn't allow copies of disks to be be made so once my disk fails / wears out that's it. Having some means to copy disks and store an image file for posterity would be nice, but I am eyeing up the AES for spare parts so wouldn't be sad to give up on trying to copy the system disks (there only seem to be a handful of these systems out there so no great loss there I think). There are plenty of Northstar Advantage owners around, and as long as just one system is working then there is a means of copying floppies for the next guy.
